Number 7 of "10 things to know about the Presidential limousine":
7. It runs on diesel. The Beast is believed to use a Duramax diesel engine closely related to that featured under the hood of Chevrolet and GMC's full-size heavy duty pickup trucks. Why diesel? Aside from the durability associated with diesel engines, the fuel has a low volatility that reduces the risk of it exploding - and it can be found everywhere in the world, unlike high quality unleaded fuel.

Interesting, didn't know that.
Also interesting, the coefficients used by the EPA for climate modeling have not been proven, here is hoping Trump staffs the EPA with scientist and engineers again. We do need to be good custodians of our environment.
I would not hold your breath on current administration to staff EPA better than it was... Major cuts. Hey who needs clean water and air anyways!!
Just because there are cuts in government size does not necessarily mean it would make it worse. If you have ever worked for any government agency, you would notice there is a lot of redundancy and convoluted bureaucratic processes that get in the way. If you asked why, then all you will get is "well that is just the way it's always been done". There is also a lot of the "good ole' boy" system where you are guaranteed a job even though you are a screw up and would have been fired at any other private company. The EPA is no different. Making the right cuts in the EPA may not be a bad thing.
Although, it is not like the EPA has been doing such a great job under the current administration....
